440ml can from Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky medium amber colour with a short-lived frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is malty, light toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, smooth, nutty, light apple, light toffee caramel, light hop bitter palate. A fine example of the style.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Near clear brown-reddish body, lacing rings down the glass from an off-white head. inviting smell of herbal hops and mild caramel malts. Fine blended taste with caramel, toffee and a bite of stewed fruits. Satisfying leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied. Like it (Tromsø, 03.01.2026).

440ml can. Pours chestnut brown with a beige head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, dark fruits. Taste is very malty, caramel/toffee, dark fruits and berries, marmalade, gentle herbal notes and piney bitterness from the hops, though it's still on the sweeter side for the style. Medium-ish bodied.
